Description of manuscript content:
The story tells about the benefits derived from restoring the broken Buddha statues. While residing at the Jetavana Monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha delivered a sermon to King Pasenadi and people, who questioned the Buddha about the merit derived from making a Buddha statue. The person who had the ardent religious faith in the Teachings of the Buddha and made new Buddha statues and restored or repaired the damaged Buddha statue would get the great merit.
Other notes:
The edges of the leaves are painted red. Some folios have traces of fractures and mould on the surfaces.
